25.01.2022 Hello Members The Board has received complaints from some members regarding some members not fully complying with restrictions, both outside and in the clubrooms, relating to Covid-19. Some members are not coming to the club for practice and social bowls due to these breaches.... The Board executive has considered these complaints and decided: To reiterate the requirements * 1.5 metre distancing must be maintained at all times, both outside and inside the clubrooms. This includes: * Outside when sitting on seats, on the green, waiting for social bowl. * Inside when sitting at tables and return to your seat immediately a drink has been purchased. * A maximum of 4 players on a rink when practicing, 8 players at social bowls. * No handling of other players bowls. * Only playing on the marked rinks * Social bowls rinks must be a minimum of 1.5 metres apart. * Washing hands before and after playing. * Sign in and sign out. Failure to follow present requirements then stricter measures will be put in place such as suspending members breaching requirements, only allowing individual practice when a member has booked a rink as other clubs have implemented, cancellation of social bowls, closure of the club. Present requirements are those advised by Bowls Victoria following their negotiation with the Department of Health and Human Services to meet government requirements for the health and safety of individuals. Breaches are subject to fines both for individuals and the club. Remember if you are feeling unwell you should not attend the club under any circumstances. Executive Board of Management.

18.01.2022 Hi Members At the last Board meeting there was a long discussion regarding club finances in relation to the lack of income during the 3 months of lockdown. During this time the club income was down $16,000 compared to last year. The Board was also concerned about the cost of supplying coffee and biscuits to members who socialize at the club after practice/roll up and have a coffee and biscuit. The decision was taken that an honesty box be placed in the kitchen and, except...Continue reading

17.01.2022 | COVID-19 | Revised Restrictions: Metropolitan Melbourne (Step 3) & Regional Victoria (Step 3A) UPDATE: Revised 30th October, 2020.... Bowls Victoria today participated in a number of meetings with various departments and the State Government, which have resulted in confirmation of a number of changes to our previous advice. This advice is current as of today, 30th October 2020, and affects clubs in both Metro Melbourne and Regional Victoria. There are 3 key areas of change: MASKS Masks are now mandatory, and all conflicting information has been corrected. This is a Victorian Government directive. Further detail can be found in the Return to Play Guidelines below. ACCESS TO CLUBHOUSES We have received clarification that access to clubhouses is permitted where there is a bar, café or restaurant. Clubs which only have a clubhouse, with no hospitality offering, are only permitted to open toilets and changerooms. PLAYER NUMBERS & GREENS Groups of up to 10 people are permitted outdoors on greens, but groups must now be 10m apart. This rule does not apply to pennant, pennant practice or other state events. Information on this change can be found in the sections titled Number of Players and Types of Competitions. We understand that the ongoing changes will be causing frustration, however clubs should be prepared that there will be more to come, and quite likely prior to the next round of major changes due to be announced on the 8th of November. We must stress that the content above is current at the time of publication but is subject to change, as the situation is still fluid. OCTOBER RETURN TO PLAY GUIDELINES (V5) Additional Resources: For the latest State Government COVID-19 update, please click here. Links to the latest COVID-19 information and resources, including current restriction levels, are available from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) here. As COVID-19 remains a rapidly changing and evolving global situation, we will continue to work with relevant government authorities to provide the Bowls community with new and updated information as it comes to hand. Please stay safe and look after each other. Kind regards, Team BV. For the sport of bowls, a mask must be worn and should only be lowered to enable a player to play their shot, communicate game play (tactics or instructions), to momentarily regain composure if a player is short of breath or any other valid safety reason. Wearing a face covering protects you/your community by providing an additional physical barrier to COVID-19. Where a person has a lawful excuse not to wear a mask, the club takes no responsibility in any fine or sanction applied under law to the individual (e.g. by the Police).

16.01.2022 Hi Members Due to the press release from Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, Saturday 20th June with the push back of restrictions, and contacting Paul Jackson, Bowls Australia Regional Rep.

Non-contact sport is any sport where you can maintain 1.5 metres between yourself and others while playing.

Members must contact their local club as to when they are open. Shared equipment (jacks & mats) must be cleaned and disinfected before and after use. Outdoor toilet facilities can be used.

Refrain from handling other people’s bowls. Mats and jacks must be handled by one person only. Please keep your hands clean by having sanitiser readily available at the club. Wash your hands before and after play. Wear a clean uniform. If you are feeling unwell then you should not attend the club under any circumstances. Members in a high-risk category should strongly consider whether they should or should not be playing as per their own circumstances and/or medical advice. If a member is sick or comes into contact with someone that may have tested positive to COVID-19, the club must let Bowls Victoria know immediately.
